A fast and loose oil painting on panel of a magenta and purple poppy in my garden.

After months of show prep, website building, etc, I finally cracked. I am not done with my website, but I needed to paint.

This #poppy is a newcomer to my #garden and it shatters the world awake every morning.

I love it!

A #painting from my local landscapes series. The hills just east are unreal bowls within bowls w/ this scene perched within them and inside of me.

something different and so fun

I live in an old firehouse, which is going to get painted soon. Before we see this mint legacy go, a friend #Ghiblified it. Thanks friend and chatgpt. We've also been using it to mock up different colors.

It made me look like an old man, which is good.

I like where it's going!!!

Dang I have a birthday party tonight, otherwise I live nearby! Will def come check out the show though during gallery hours. Congrats!

They are so noisy! But also amazing. Nice shot!

Fresh Prospect Every Hour
Painted Denim
2021

A throwback to yesterday for #ThrowbackThursday. I pulled a phrase from Thoreau & painted a #floral #stilllife on this #clothingswap jacket. I still wear it.

Golden Hour in My Living Room
2025
#SensoryArt #light week

Light streams into this space where we do so much, most afternoons as the sun sets beneath the clouds - even on those days that were mostly grey, which is most days.

c.u. from a painting that "was" done, yesterday

My new painting, Consumed by Love, today proved to be still unfinished. In short, free of it, I fell back in love with it, and began to really finish it. See added details to soccer ball, etc.

I love where I live.

detail from a painting called On Island So and So
2022

Technically an #iguana but also adaptable and in a suit of multiplicity, so also definitely a #chameleon of colors. Also check out the Black-Headed Trogan.

What a gift to everyone that walks those halls!

Nested
2024

Small dove in a backyard tree nook making use of #camouflage is not enough when you are having lover's quarrels loudly on and off all morning. Here she is taking a rest in the nest from it all.

Thank you for the repost <3!

Gorgeous shot, I love the colors and the intimacy. As I write this I can here a cardinal singing.

Thank you!!

Youth at the Rodeo
2024

The girl contingent at a rodeo outside of Oaxaca were brilliant both in their #red riding dress and in their riding. I left impressed and thankful for being invited to witness this.

A small shed alone in the corner of a field (mostly unseen) is getting taking over, or being embraced, by last years goldenrod and some trees that are close enough to the shed that they escaped mowing and are now quite a big larger than the shed itself. Part of the door broads are broken, the window on top has its barn door (red) hanging diagonally by one screw. The space before it is covered in snow and half buried weeds in snow. There is a small nest in the tree to the left of the shed, and a blue shipping container just barely made out well past the shed. The perspective is looking slightly up towards the shed. To the right there is another tree, bigger in stature, and beyond it the first tree in a hedgerow of Norway Spruce . And old soccer ball is nestled in the weeds. The birds and the foxes are implied.

This is the final work in the series of Freeville Landscapes that I've been working on for a long time. It's going to be time for a show soon! Better photo to come.

Beautiful! So soft and inviting.

I'm pretty sure I'm subject to a fit of immaturity myself sometimes, while painting too. Love this work!
